Leo Babauta's article, "An Intentional System for Working With Goals," invites us to rethink our relationship with goals, advocating for a more intentional and flexible approach. By treating goals not as fixed targets but as guides for the present moment, Babauta helps us navigate life with less pressure and more presence, making each step a conscious act of alignment with our deeper purpose.

Quotes to ponder:
"Goals, like any tool, can be used to bludgeon ourselves over the head with shame and guilt, or can be used with intention, as a way to consciously deepen our practice in life."
"Imagine that you wanted to sail to a certain port - there are two ways that could go, depending on how you work with that goal."
"When you do notice yourself attached to the fantasy of your goal, you practice loosening your grip on it, and focus instead on the present moment."
